On July 30th from 2:00 – 3:00 p.m. EDT, OPEN MIND and co-hosts GROB Systems and Seco Tools will hold a Virtual Workshop to present techniques and technology for the manufacture of turbine blades, such as those found in aero-engines and in power generation. A live machining demonstration will show hyperMILL CAM software and Seco conical barrel cutters producing a blade on a GROB G350 Universal 5-axis Machining Center in a single setup. The conical barrel cutters achieve high performance machining and high-quality surface finish. Using strategies from hyperMILL, the ball end ground into the same conical barrel cutters will perform various blending operations and assure smooth overall part surfaces.
On August 27th from 2:00 – 3:00 p.m. EDT, OPEN MIND together with co-hosts GROB Systems and YG-1 Tool Company will hold a Virtual Workshop to highlight the innovative techniques and technology to produce critical features on aero-engine blisk components. The presentation will feature initial blank preparation using 3-axis simultaneous turning, high performance roughing to remove material between blades and a hyperMILL MAXX Machining finishing strategy with conical barrel cutters to achieve a high surface finish. During a live machining demonstration, key aspects of blisk part manufacture will be shown. A question and answer session will conclude the Virtual Workshop.
